There are currently no separate Data Publishing Charges (DPCs) for submission of data to GigaDB, as we currently do not accept data that is not accompanied by a GigaScience Press manuscript (either GigaScience or GigaByte). All DPCs for GigaScience Press manuscripts are covered by the Article Publishing Charges (APCs) of that manuscript (up to a terabyte automatically included, but contact us if you need more). For APCs of GigaScience manuscripts please see in GigaScience journal pricing (opens in a new window). For APCs of GigaByte manuscripts please see in GigaByte journal FAQs (opens in a new window).

All datasets are curated to a high standard including but not limited to; the checking and conversion of file formats if required to ensure open (non-proprietary) and stable formats are used whenever possible; Sample metadata to meet appropriate standards and to include ontology terms where possible; creation of specialist display formats like 3D images from STL image stacks and JBrowse genome browser files from genome assemblies and annotation files. All datasets are manually curated with email correspondence to the submitting author to ensure completeness. Where possible our curators follow guidelines provided by international bodies such as the Genomics Standards Consortium (gensc.org, opens in a new window) for the minimal information about any genomic sequences. Dataset level metadata is also checked and curated to go above and beyond DataCite standards.
